In fairness, there have been rapid-development tools to do this. I used
to use one called Visual AppBuilder (which then was renamed "Microbrew")
that consisted of designing a UI in a UI designer, and then building
program logic flows by building a flow diagram. There was no actual
coding that took place, and you could do some pretty involved things with
it. The functionality could be extended by a real developer as well, so
you weren't limited to just the modules included in the box.
I may still have a copy of it around here somewhere. It's a pity it
never evolved past being a 16-bit Windows development tool (the Mac
versions were more advanced).
